activesync over bluetooth with XDAII and Toshiba Laptop

[allanmb]

Does anybody have a Toshiba bluetooth stack, and an XDA-II communicating? I managed to get it working for a night, but cant remember what I did. Can anybody help me get it working?

I have tried connecting from XDA->Laptop and vice versa but nothing seems to get Activesync to work :o(

Thanks,
Allan

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I have problems before with Bluetooth Activesync in my XDAII for a month. However I was able to solve it and everytime it won't work I just repeat the steps below. The problem is the Bluetooth Manager of XDAII which was very basic compared to HP Ipaqs. Try this if it will work for you.

1. On your XDAII go to Settings, System, Blutooth Settings and put a check on Authentication, Inbound Com4, and Outbound Com5.
2. Tap start and tap discoverable.
3. Set your laptop also to discoverable.
4. Pair your devices through your XDAII and don't forget to put a passkey.
5. Watch your Bluetooth indicator at your Laptop's System Tray as it will prompt you that your XDAII is trying to pair and click it then enter the passkey.
6. On your laptop right click My Computer, go to hardware and check device manager's COM port. Make sure that there is a Bluetooth Communications port at Com 3 or 4.
7. On your Laptop again, open your Bluetooth Manager and discover services on your XDAII.
8. Once the services were discovered, enable activesync on your Laptop's Bluetooth Manager.
9. On your laptop again, open Activesync and enable Serial Com 3 or 4 depending on the Com port of your Bluetooth. In case your Bluetooth is at Com 17, 18, 19 and above, you have to manually install a Com Port at 3 or 4 as a Microsoft Standard Com port. Reboot your Laptop and update the Com Port driver to your Bluetooth Driver.
10. You may now sync through your XDAII. Tap Activesync and sync via bluetooth.
11. Again watch your Laptop's system tray as the Bluetooth Manager icon will prompt you again to allow activesync to access your Laptop.
12. You may now sync via bluetooth. If you have a firewall you must allow the XDAII to sync to your PC.
